Answer to Question 1

B
Before development of end-stage renal disease, nutrition therapy for patients with chronic renal failure focuses on limiting foods that produce toxic metabolic by-products; this reduces the bur-den on the kidneys. Sodium and fluid intakes do not need to be limited at this stage. Protein in-take should be limited to the amount needed by the body because breakdown of excess protein produces toxic metabolic by-products. Chronic kidney disease is irreversible so provision of adequate nutrients will not promote recovery, although it is important to maintain good nutri-tional status.

Answer to Question 2

B
Gradual, irreversible loss of kidney function is called chronic renal failure. Acute renal failure is characterized by an abrupt loss of renal failure and is often reversible. Nephrotic syndrome is caused by damage to the glomerulus and is also often reversible. Patients with chronic renal fail-ure often become dependent on dialysis, but loss of kidney function may progress gradually for several years before dialysis becomes necessary.
